“From the first time I met Paul I was made to feel at ease with his professional manner. He took a detailed history and did not just focus on the infertility but on me as a whole person, something Western medicine does not do. The treatment helped me relax and gave me a positive focus.

I am truly grateful to have found Paul and for the treatment he gave me and could give you.”

“ After spending some time searching online I came across Paul's website and immediately booked an appointment to see him. Within a couple of sessions of acupuncture with Paul I immediately felt more relaxed and able to deal with trying to conceive better than I was. I just felt better and more confident we would have a family.

I highly recommend Paul, who is very calm and positive and makes you feel more positive yourself.”
